Total of 6 years (my fault), graduated with honors. Can’t get a job because I don’t have experience. Countless applications out. Zero interviews.

    Just lie. There used to be a subreddit of people who would provide professional references, and half of the employers never bother to check references anyway. Send LinkedIn connection requests to everybody’s aunt and uncle, because hiring managers subconsciously prefer candidates that are just a few degrees of separation away. Your professors, their spouses, their coworkers who live on the opposite side of the country.

    We live in a post-truth reality. Roll with it.

      you ain’t wrong baby, except no no with that Linkedin shit. Everybody hates getting spammed. Linkedin is the way to advertise that you are a tool.
